Handwoven Textiles
Pine and Snow Blankets
I wanted to adapt an old summer and winter American coverlet pattern to create a modern heirloom. Traditionally the darker side was displayed face up in the winter saving the lighter side which is tonally reversed to be face up in the summer months when washing could be done with greater regularity. This blanket was woven in a group of five using organic bamboo tencel as the warp, one strand silk alpaca as the tabby and three strands of silk alpaca as the weft using a “singles” treadling key. While delicate and not completely immune to snagging, this weave structure is dense and robust with a soft hand and incredible drape. Dry clean or hand wash cold, hang to dry. Measures 55.5”x 75.”

Note: The other blankets in this series were woven using a silk and alpaca weft while this blanket was woven using cotton. Further more it is both shorter by about 10% and has a treadling error toward one end. The price has been calculated accordingly.

Pond Coverlets
I wove this blanket in a traditional American overshot pattern using 8 shafts on the floor loom. The pattern weft is blend of silk and alpaca and the warp is bamboo tencel. Measures 51”x44”. Handwash cold, hang dry or dry clean. This pattern is inherently delicate, suggest using in a place where snagging will be minimized. One of a kind.

Crackle Gradient
Weaving for kids is both a joy and challenge. Crackle weave structure (so named after the crackling glaze structure on some pottery) allows for graphic designs with few to no floats drastically reducing the risk of snagging. These blankets are an adaptation of pattern simple titled “Scandinavian Favorite” and I understand why it was so named. Using cotton for the warp, weft, and tabby allows these pieces to be thrown in the washing machine and dryer (cold, gentle) and in our family this pattern has held up to the chaos of childhood. I used a rich saddle tan for the warp and a gradient of purples for the weft. The inverse image appears on the back. Measures 49"x75.5.”

Being a child not a requirement for the use of this blanket.
